It is unlikely you have damaged your new accumulators. The pressure is largely a function of engine RPM, not the length of time it is on. The accumulators should be able to take it unless the springs are well and truly gone so the hydraulics is doing all the work all the time. The system is designed, after all, to assist the springs under heavy loads.
It's possible you have a leaking hose or fitting but I've never heard of the fittings coming loose on their own so I'd suspect a bad hose if that's the source of the leak. By the way, always use a flare wrench on the fittings as they strip easily (I believe they are made of brass).
